WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT?

I am just starting my 4th week of a 12 week test cyp cycle at 500mg a week. This is of course my first cycle. I just started to see my strength increase a little. No real physical change yet, maybe a little not sure. Anyway what comes next? I know everything I have read in the past couple of years about it, but I wanted some real world experience about guys first cycle and what they remember and what I should expect from here on out. Thanks
 
It will vary from person to person. Some people will experience more energy, libido, aggression, confidence, etc. I’m on 600mg right now, and I’m honestly not getting too much more out of it then I do on 150mg.
 
My first run was 4 months of Test E at 500 a week about 15 years ago. Starting in week 2, I felt awesome. Strength went up every time I trained, I gained about 40 pounds, I was beating my junk like it owed me money...after I exhausted the old lady. Bench went from 275 to 405...it was great. Wish every time was like that first run.

How old are you? I think that makes a difference in the way your body reacts. My younger years seemed to reap all the benefits and now in my 30's I'm getting a lot more of the negative sides. Either way that cup should start kicking in the next couple weeks. Personally at that point it's weight gain, strength, massive pumps, libido high 24/7, and acne! Good luck brotha

Wtf lol. I think my body just doesn’t respond too well to higher doses of test tbh. I can blow up on some epi, msten, tbol, but man my body doesn’t get a whole lot from test.

Yeah, I'm doing 750 of Test E now and went from 315 to 355 and I'm closing in on 600 lbs on bench. I'm actually going to cut soon, 355 is to heavy..pretty uncomfortable. I'm also 6'6 and 44 yrs.

That’s insane man, props to you. Next blast I’ll probably just keep the test at 150, throw in another injectable and run an oral of some sort. I’m pretty let down with test haha. I’ve had bloodwork on the ugl I use and everything checked out great, so I’m pretty sure it’s just me. I have gained a good bit of size, but over half of it was from the tbol and not to mention how many cals I’ve been cramming in.

That's terrible luck! Give me 600-900mg test and that's all I need. I often run it alone.

I've run test solo several times. It was the absolute perfect compound in my younger years. Now that I'm in my 30s I still get almost the same positive effects but estrogen control is much more difficult and my diet has to be much much more strict. Still get quite a bit of shoulder, chest, back acne. Lol, it's hard to explain a massive acne breakout to the wife at 34.... she knows not of the juice

My gains on it aren’t awful, I just expected more lol. I’ve gained 18-19lbs, bench from 225x12 to 225x23 but I’d say about 75% of that came from the tbol kicker.
 
Dang that's impressive, I don't think I'm gonna touch 40lbs of gain. Now I'm jealous.

To answer the question I'm 34.
 
Ha that's funny. My wife is actually injecting me, 13 years together, guess we are swolemates.
Sorry for the corniness I couldn't help myself

I don't think I've ever hit 40 lbs on a cycle. But my frame isn't as big as Swinfan. He's a pretty big dude.
I think the most I've gained on one cycle is probably 35 lbs.

My old lady injects my left flute when the right gets too sore. I only pin glutes, 25g, 1.5s, and I suck doing it lefty...lol
 
In a few months I'm going to run tren e, test e, and t3, up the cardio, cut calories, and try to get under 300. I've been over 300 for like 5 years straight. Curious what I'll look like...gonna hate losing the strength though.

Oh, it’s just now kicking in for you. You’ll enjoy it a lot more the next 8 weeks.


My personal opinion, and everyone is very different, is that Testosterone is Chicken and Brown Rice. It’s a boring, slightly effective, staple, that gets the job done. It’s the benchmark when you can’t afford the actual good stuff(salmon and filet mignon with buttersquash and roasted yams). It’s something you need between better meals.

It does next to nothing for me but maintain male function. I mean, yea, by the end of week 11 on Test stand-alone, I’m strong, but no stronger than the 3rd week of Superdrol, or the 8th week of Trest or NPP. Some guys love it, I just run it so I don’t feel like shyt on better drugs though. Well, that, and I’m on it for life.

Pmsl, I start my first pin cycle of test e @500 in sept this year (run a few ph cycles). Read op’s post and was thinking ah sh1t, not what I was hoping for, read yours and almost went to my cabinet to start it now lol

That’s insane man. I’m running a tbol kicker and winny finisher with 14 weeks of test e planned - would be happy with half what you achieved

I worked with a really good trainer out here that primarily does contest prep. He has a half dozen athletes at every local NPC show that happens out in AZ. He had a really strong opinion about genetics that I’ve always agreed with: Yes, genetic body composition, bone structure, muscle bellies are important for making a successful bodybuilder, but hyperresponse to AAS must be present in every case to make an athlete that can win a show. Or have any real future competing. There’s examples everywhere. Levrone is a prime example. A guy in his 50s putting on that much muscle and strength; competing in such a short period of time. The average joe can’t make gains like that on ANY amount of gear. And if he was too scared to take a diuretic before his last show, I’ll bet he wasn’t running anything crazy from 2016 to now. Dallas too. I don’t care how much he was taking, to put 150-200lbs on your frame before entering your late 20s is something I’ll bet 99% of us couldn’t do. No matter how good our genetics are.

My first testosterone only run was similar to yours, about 550mg/week for 12weeks. But I stopped making significant gains after 9-10lbs. There’s definitely drugs I respond much better to. SD and Trest at modest doses can put 20lbs on me, but I’d bet you give those drugs at those doses to someone who responds more significantly to AAS, and they will make my gains look pitiful I’m betting..

That’s not to take away from anyone around here’s hard work or dedication AT ALL. I don’t make excuses if I don’t gain as much on gear. And I don’t discredit others that gain more than I.

Yeah, for whatever reason, I can get big quick. If I wanted to, I can put on almost a pound a day. I don't even increase weights but less than 25 lb plates. Always been like that on gear. I take a shot of prop and I can literally watch myself swell in the mirror. No BS
 
You make me sick! Haha - that's awesome though. I respond very well bit nothing compared to that.
